Question

Supporters of using the atomic bomb at the end of World War II believed that

Answer 1

Americans were tired of war and the US should end it quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuing the war without use of an atomic bomb would take significantly more time and cost thousands of American lives. Japan had refused to surrender up to that point, and would presumably continue to do so in the future. US citizens were already becoming tired of the war, so support was becoming less passionate. Overall, the best course of action would have been to end the war quickly by using an atomic bomb on Japan and guaranteeing Japan's surrender.

Answer 2

Believed that it was the way to end the war

Step-by-step explanation:

For the United States to end the war with Japan it had to invade mainland Japan. This was extremely hard even when compared to the D-Day invasion. They calculated that they would need to loose many men and Japan would lose even more soldiers and civilians. They settled on dropping the bombs for them to surrender. At the end this did not bring Japan to surrendering and the thing that pushed them to surrender was the USSR invasion that they could not defeat. And better to surrender to USA than to the USSR.
